He was traded to the Angels during spring training in 2006 for infielder Alberto Callaspo.

He was called up in 2007 when rosters expanded on September 1.

On March 30, 2008, the Angels released their Opening Day roster and Bulger made the team. He was optioned down to the minors on August 27. On July 28, 2009, Bulger recorded his first career save in the majors against the Cleveland Indians.

On April 27, 2011, Bulger was designated for assignment after making five appearances for the Angels in the 2011 season with a 0.96 ERA and striking out seven. He cleared waivers, and accepted his demotion to AAA Salt Lake.
